Why is my console littered with tons of output when I update
selinux-policy-targeted rpm?  I get tons of crap spewed out to my
console.  Aren't there any guidelines to prevent packages from doing
this, and if not can we please make some?

Wouldn't it be great if all this garbage output went to some place
nice like syslog?

selinux-policy-target puke:
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/000-delay.cron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/00webalizer context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/0anacron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/beagle-crawl-system context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0

system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/cups context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/logrotate context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/makewhatis.cron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/mlocate.cron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/prelink context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/rpm context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.hourly/mcelog.cron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.monthly/0anacron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.weekly/0anacron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0
/sbin/restorecon reset /etc/cron.weekly/makewhatis.cron context
system_u:object_r:etc_t:s0->system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0

Do I really need to know all this?  Because personally I have
absolutely no idea what all this garbage means.
